Only one place and three points separate both Hacken and GAIS as they prepare to meet in the Allsvenskan on Sunday. The hosts are currently below their opponents in the table at the time of writing, but a win would put them level on points with the visitors, who could equally climb up to sixth spot with a victory themselves.

Key stats
- Hacken have only won once in five league games.
- GAIS are unbeaten in six matches in all competitions, winning three of them.
- GAIS have won three of the previous four H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Hacken 1-2 GAIS
Given that GAIS are in superior form and have had the better of the most recent H2Hs, we are expecting them to come away from Hacken with all three points. They are in close proximity in the table though, so it could be a tight encounter.

- DRAW: 23/10 (3.30) – 30.3%

Most recent H2Hs: GAIS have had the better of it
As mentioned previously, GAIS have had the better of the most recent H2Hs by winning three of the last four. Interestingly, each of those meetings saw exactly three goals scored in total, so we could also see a familiar pattern emerge come Sunday.

Player to watch: Ibrahim Diabate
Ibrahim Diabate is enjoying a very impressive season so far with GAIS. Indeed, he has scored a total of 10 goals in his last 15 appearances in all competitions.
Nine of those have come in the Allsvenskan, currently making him the top scorer in the division at the time of writing. Hacken will be very wary of what Diabate is capable of.
